WARNING on Sunlight

Small amount of sunlight are wonderful. Large am0unts are dangerous! Limit your exposure to the sun to five minutes per day at first if you are fair skinned, 15 minutes a day for darker – skinned individuals. Your exposure to the sun can be gradually increased. A goal of 20-30 minutes is a realistic goal for most people. Never allow yourself to burn. Remember, wet skin burns faster than dry skin. Ultraviolet rays of the sun can reflect off snow, sand and water, greatly increasing your exposure.

For years, sunlight has been known as a mediator of life. We know today that it can be healing or destructive; it can be the kiss of life or the kiss of death, depending on how we use it. Enjoy the sun sparingly and it will increase your vitality and good health.
